Kleister and PDT Platform Detector V1.15 Free Download (No Dongle Required)
The Infinity-Box team shipped DumpTool/PDT/Kleister v1.15 on October 13, 2026, and the update quietly removes two of the most annoying friction points in daily dump work. First, the tool can now pull OS information from separate boot and other partition files - you load a single partition exactly the way you load a full dump image, and the built-in parser handles the rest. Second, administrator privileges are no longer required just to launch the program, which finally kills the right-click, run-as-admin ritual on every workshop PC.
What has not changed is the reason this toolkit became popular in the first place. It is completely free, it asks for no dongle and no activation, and it targets precisely the jobs that make technicians nervous: dead phones, bootloop victims, and handsets that flat-out refuse any normal flashing routine. If your bench work involves ISP or soldering-level repairs and you handle raw DUMP files every week, this tool belongs on your drive. Below, we break down every module, the complete version history from v1.04 to v1.15 - including the v1.08, v1.12, and v1.14 releases most blogs skip - a real dead-phone scenario, and the exact step-by-step workflow professionals use.
What Is Kleister and PDT Platform Detector?
Kleister and PDT Platform Detector is a free utility package published by the Infinity-Box team under the name DumpTool/PDT/Kleister. The official release notes describe it as a tool for engineers with ISP and soldering jobs that works with DUMP files directly, and that description nails exactly where it fits in a repair chain. When a phone will not boot and will not flash, the last reliable move is to read its eMMC or UFS storage straight off the chip - over ISP test points or by soldering wires to the pins - and then do all the real work with that image on the PC. This toolkit is everything you need on the PC side of that job.
The package bundles several modules that cover the entire dump workflow, from merging part files to deep partition analysis. Here is what each piece actually does.
DumpTool - The Analyzer
DumpTool is the heavy lifter. It loads DUMP files created with a flash programmer, verifies their integrity, and inspects the partition table structure inside the image. It detects the SoC type, the firmware version, and the Android version, understands multiple partition table types and filesystems, and can look inside the super partition to list the inner partitions it contains. It marks empty partitions, reads MTK eMMC and UFS boot areas, and lets you save individual partitions as separate files, export the GPT, or write the full partition layout to a layout.txt file. Since v1.15, you can also load a standalone partition file - a boot image, for instance - exactly like a full dump and have it parsed for OS information.
Kleister - The Merger
Kleister exists because of a problem every ISP technician knows too well: part files. Reading a 64GB or 128GB chip in one pass is risky, so experienced users read in chunks and end up with a folder full of fragments that no flasher accepts. Kleister joins all those parts back into one solid, complete image. Select the files, start the merge, and you are left with a single full memory file ready for flashing, repair, or archiving. The same merge flow serves people servicing auto head units, smartwatches, and TV sticks, not only phones.
PDT - Platform Detector
PDT is the quick-identification module. It detects the SoC installed on the connected hardware, and its detection database is refreshed constantly - recent updates added Apple iPhone detection, refreshed Xiaomi device detection, and added FTDI and VCOM device detection. When you need to know exactly what you are looking at before committing to a long read, PDT answers first.
Converters and Extras
Rounding out the package are a sparse-to-bin and a bin-to-sparse converter, a built-in updates checker, and an AI Cloud Samples Analyzer. The interface ships in four languages - English, Spanish, French, and Russian - which tells you plenty about who is actually using this tool in the field.

Practical Scenario: Pulling a Full Backup From a Dead Phone
A customer walks in with a phone that is completely dead. No display, no vibration, no charging icon - nothing. The battery checks out and the board has power, but the handset simply will not come alive, and normal flashing is off the table because the phone never enumerates well enough to accept one. This is the exact situation Kleister and PDT Platform Detector were built for.
With the board on the bench, you connect to the eMMC over ISP test points (or solder directly to the chip on UFS jobs) and read the storage in small parts - 2GB or 4GB at a time. Why parts instead of one big read? Because full-chip single reads fail for boring, predictable reasons: the battery voltage sags, a cable wiggles loose, the programmer hiccups, and a long read dies at 90 percent. When that happens with a single-file read, you start over from zero. When it happens during a part-based read, you only repeat the last chunk.
Each finished chunk lands on the PC as a separate file, and those files are individually useless - no flasher accepts a folder of fragments. This is where Kleister earns its keep. Load the parts, merge them, and you now hold one complete, solid image of the phone's entire storage. Feed that image to DumpTool and it reports the SoC, the firmware version, the Android version, and the partition layout - everything you need to plan the repair with open eyes.
The backup is the real dividend. Because you hold a full copy of the phone's memory, you can now try aggressive repair methods - rewrites, partition fills, boot-area repairs - without the fear of making things worse. If an experiment goes sideways, the original state is one re-flash away. That safety net is why so many technicians read memory first and ask questions later.
How to Use Kleister for a Safe Full Dump (Step by Step)
This is the exact routine experienced technicians follow to walk away from a dead or half-dead handset with a clean, complete image. Adjust the chunk size to the storage you are reading - the same logic applies from a 16GB budget phone to a 256GB flagship:
- Connect the phone to your PC with a short, high-quality USB cable - cheap cables cause more failed reads than any software bug.
- Open your reading tool (a flash programmer over ISP, or a part-based reader such as RawTool) and select the read option.
- Start reading from the beginning address of the storage.
- Choose a small chunk size - 2GB or 4GB is the sweet spot on most jobs.
- When one part finishes, advance the start address by the chunk size and read the next part.
- Repeat until you have covered the full storage range.
- Open Kleister and select all the dump part files you saved.
- Click merge and let it finish - do not interrupt it.
- You now have one full memory file, ready for flashing, repair, or backup.
- Optionally, load the merged image into DumpTool to confirm integrity and read out the partition and firmware details before you touch anything.
That is the whole routine. It is slower than a one-shot read, but slow-and-complete beats fast-and-corrupted every single time - and the merged image you end up with is the same file you would otherwise have risked the entire read on.
Workshop Tips and Honest Notes
A handful of habits that separate a clean dump from a wasted afternoon:
- Use a short, high-quality USB cable - the number one cause of interrupted reads
- Make sure the phone battery is not completely dead before starting, or feed the board stable bench power
- Never read userdata as one giant file - split it
- Always read large storage in parts
- Merge the parts only after every single part is confirmed present on disk
- If v1.15 reports a file or operation as inaccessible, report it - the team explicitly asked for feedback on this release
What we like after real bench use:
- Genuinely free, with zero dongle or activation strings attached
- The read-in-parts, merge, then analyze workflow is coherent enough for beginners to follow
- An honest update cadence: eleven public releases between v1.04 and v1.15
What to watch:
- The suite analyzes dumps - it does not pull them off the chip for you, so you still need an ISP programmer or equivalent reading hardware
- Like most GSM software, it is a Windows PC utility
- There is no deep official manual; you learn the interface by using it and by following the forum threads
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kleister and PDT Platform Detector really free?
Yes. The Infinity-Box team releases it as a free tool for engineers - no dongle, no activation, and no credit system. The official notes have repeated the words FREE tool, no dongle required since v1.10, and v1.15 carries the same terms.
Will it work on a completely dead phone?
The toolkit works with DUMP files, not with the phone directly, so the handset never needs to boot. You first read the storage over ISP or by soldering to the chip, then analyze and merge the resulting files here. In that sense, dead phones are exactly its target audience.
Is it safe to read the whole phone memory in one file?
It is not recommended. Full-chip single reads are long, and any interruption - battery sag, a loose cable, a programmer hiccup - corrupts the entire file and forces a restart. Reading in 2GB to 4GB parts and merging with Kleister is slower but far safer.
What is actually new in version 1.15?
Two headline changes: the tool can now read OS information from separate boot and other partition files, loaded just like a dump image, and administrator privileges are no longer required to run it. The team also asks users to report any inaccessible files or operations.
Which languages does the interface support?
Four: English, Spanish, French, and Russian. Interface translations were refreshed several times across v1.06 and v1.07, so the latest build is the most polished one to grab.
Download Kleister and PDT Platform Detector V1.15 (Official Link)
The current build is distributed through official Infinity-Box channels. Grab v1.15 from the release announcement page:
Keep one habit: always take the file from the official Infinity-Box source instead of mirror sites. Repacked GSM utilities are a common malware vector, and the tool costs nothing anyway, so there is no reason to gamble on a modified build. If a file or operation shows up as inaccessible after you update to v1.15, report it through the official channels - the developers have asked for exactly that feedback on this release.
